Please understand that no criticism of you is intended here. I am much
more concerned about the fact that the port breaks every time they get a
wild hair and decide to roll a new beta. We traditionally handle situations
like this by splitting out the more frequently updated version into a
-devel port. All very run of the mill stuff.
If it's possible, the ideal situation would be a port of 2000c with
patches to bring in the worst/best of their bugfixes without introducing
any new problems. If that's not possible, I don't see a problem with
straight 2000c as long as it doesn't become vulnerable to a published
exploit.
I'll try to get more details about the re-appearing messages tomorrow ...
errr.. later today.
